More quotes by Charles Bukowski
and the color in my eyes has gone back into the sea.
Charles Bukowski
I wasn't a misanthrope and I wasn't a misogynist but I liked being alone. It felt good to sit alone in a small space and smoke and drink. I had always been good company for myself.
Charles Bukowski
it seemed to me that I had never met another person on earth as discouraging to my happiness as my father. and it appeared that I had the same effect upon him.
Charles Bukowski
i dunno, i said, but i have an idea that people who don't think too much tend to look younger longer
Charles Bukowski
I don't carry notebooks and I don't consciously store ideas. I try not to think that I am a writer and I am pretty good at doing that. I don't like writers, but then I don't like insurance salesmen either.
Charles Bukowski
They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them.
Charles Bukowski
The shortest distance between two points is often unbearable.
Charles Bukowski
Love dries up, I thought as I walked back to the bathroom, even faster than sperm.
Charles Bukowski
There's no way I can stop writing, it's a form of insanity.
Charles Bukowski
Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them.
Charles Bukowski
I remember awakening one morning and finding everything smeared with the color of forgotten love.
Charles Bukowski
I met a genius on the train today about 6 years old, he sat beside me and as the train ran down along the coast we came to the ocean and then he looked at me and said, it’s not pretty.
Charles Bukowski
I was only photographing in words the reality of it all.
Charles Bukowski
well, death says, as he walks by, I'm going to get you anyhow no matter what you've been: writer, cab-driver, pimp, butcher, sky-diver, I'm going to get you
Charles Bukowski
If you can only remain pure in your stupidity, someday you may get a phone call from hell.
Charles Bukowski
If I hadn't been a drunkard, I probably would have committed suicide long ago.
Charles Bukowski
If I never see you again I will always carry you inside outside on my fingertips and at brain edges and in centers centers of what I am of what remains.
Charles Bukowski
That's the way it ends. The thin edge of the wedge.
Charles Bukowski
it's good to have things done with when they don't work it's also good not to hate or even forget the person you've failed with.
Charles Bukowski
The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers from the Watchtower itch: you gotta be with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they keep getting busted.
Charles Bukowski
